MACHINE FOR LOADING GRAIN FROM THRESHING-MACHINES INTO WAGONS 0R SACNS.

snr.cIFIoA'rIoNv forming part of Letters A:Patent No. 603,641, dated May 10,1898. Application aieajruiy 81,1897. sehn No. 646.695. on moan.) i

.To a/ZZ whom t may concern: Be it known that I, JOHN l-IEYROOK, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cavalier,

which will not interfere with the continuous.

operation of the machine.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination ofv parts hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated inv -the accompanying drawings, in which-gL Figure lis an elevation of the loader as applied to a thre'sher Vor separator, showing one grain-spout in position for delivering '.graininto a wagon or into sacks in an ordinary wagon-box andV another spout on the opposite side lowered in position to deliver grain into sacks on the ground'or as when moving the machine. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View, part vertical section and part elevation, of the loader. Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are details of various parts.y

The loader consists of two oppositely-inclined chutes B B, which are united at their upper, ends and communicate with a conical l grain-reservoir A of considerable capacity,

which is retained in position above the chutes by means of a ring b, connected to rods b',

Fig. 1,) and may be ,bolted to the thresher,

upon, with chutes B leading to the opposite sides of 'the machine. l f A f When appliedto a thresheror separator, the loader would be placedpreferably, on top thereof and in position to be out lof the way of the operative parts of the machine, and the clean grain discharged from the separator could be elevated into reservoir A by any suitable means, many such being well known in the art, and thereforel do not consider it necessary to illustrate thek same in the drawings. l .f

" To the lower ends of the xedchutes B are j as indicated, solas to fasten the loader thereattached swinging spouts D. The upperends Vof theysides of the spoutsD are provided with circular extensions D,which are fitted against and pivoted to the circular heads c of metal- .lic plates c, fastened to the lower ends of the .sides of chutes B, vas shown inr Fig.- 2- To l furtherI support the spouts, .pieces B2 are fastened to the sides and lower, ends of 'chutes B, and the pivot-bolts f transx the plates c,

the portions D of the spouts,; and the pieces B2, asi'ndicated in Fig.

Bushings-ff' arewpreferably placed varound I bolts f to prevent clamping parts B2, D', and c together too tightly. v

The opening between the bottoms of each chute B and its 'spout-D is closedy by a plate g, hinged to the lower endof chute B, as indicated at g', Fig. 2, and. theA space'between the top of each chute B and its spout Dis closed by a curved plate h, hinged to the lower end of the top of chute, as `shown@` TheseA hinged plates g h maintain grain-closejoints between the chutes and spolits D no matter in what position they are adjusted.

l To the sides of spouts D are pivoted curved levers a by umeans of bolts f3, the curved porp tions of these. levers engagingguides a2, attached to the standards t', as shown. These levers A will support the spouts D in any position to ,which they may be adjusted, as indicated kin the drawings.

The lower ends of spouts D may be closed by the swinging valve e,one of which is shown open on the left-hand spout and the other closed on the right-hand spout, ,Fig. 1.

Operation: The grain is delivered into the IOO reservoir A and is directed to the chutes B B 2 j 603,641 j t on either side of the machine by the switch d and allowed to pass out at the ends of the spouts D D or detained at will in the reservoir or spouts B B and D D by the valves e e.

grain can be delivered on either side of the' machine without any shifting of the appara' Ytus except the adjustment of spouts D D.

Having thus described my invention, what; I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters l. In a grain-loader, the combination of the` reservoir, the diverging chutes connected thereto, and the spouts hinged to the lower end of said chutes; with the hinged plates closing the spaces between the. bottoms and tops of the chutes'and spouts, respectively,` for vthe purpose and substantially as described.

2. In a grain-loader, the combination with a thresher or separator, of a reservoir, and the opposite chutes connected thereto allv adapted i to be supported upon the top of the thresher so that the chutes lead to opposite sides thereof, and a `valvefor directing grain from the reservoir/into either chute; with adjustableI swin ging spouts attached to the lower end of said chutes, and means for holding said spouts in Athe 4positions to which they may be adj usted, for the purpose and substantially as described.

3. The combination ot the chute and ,the plates c attached to the lower end thereof, with the spout Yhaving circular enlargements on the ends of their sides hinged to said plates c and the swinging plate g hinged to the lower end of the chute, closing the space between' the bottom of the chute and the spout, for the purpose and substantially as described'.

4. The combination of the chute and the plates attached to the lower end thereof, with the spouts havingcircular heads on their endsl hinged to said plates, the swinging plate hinged to the lower end of the chute closing theV space between the bottoms of the chute and spout, and the curved plate hinged to the `top of the chute and closing the space between:

the tops ofthe chute and spout, for the purpose and substantially as described.'

5. The combination in a grain-loader, of a swinging spout, with the .adjustable curved supporting-levers pivoted to the sides of the spout, for the purpose and substantially as described.

6. The combination in a grain-loader, of a chute, and a spout hingedy to the lower end thereof; with the adjustable curved supporting-levers a pivoted to the sides of the spout, for the purpose and substantially as described. j 7. In a grain-loader, the combination of'a reservoir, the opposite chutes connected thereto and adapted to be supported upon the top of a thresher `and lead to opposite sides thereof, and a valve for directing grain from the reservoir into either chute with the swinging spouts hinged to the lower end of said chutes, the curved levers for holding said spouts in the positions to which they are adjusted and the valves for closing said spouts, for the purpose and substantially as described.

8. The combination in a grain-loader, of a reservoir, the diverging chutes communicating at their upper ends with said reservoir, and the spouts hinged to said chutes, with the Vplates hinged to the lower end of the chutes,

closing the space between the bottoms of the chutes and spouts, and the plates hinged to the lower end ot the chutes and closing the opening between the tops of the chutes'and spouts, for the purpose and substantially as described.

9; In a grain-loader adapted to'be mounted -Y on a thresher or separator, the combination of a reservoir, diverging chutes communicating at their'upper ends with said reservoir, the valve for directing grain from the reservoir into either chute, the plates attached to the lower ends of the chutes and projecting therefrom, and' the spouts pivoted to said plates, with the plates hinged to the lower end of the chutes, closing the space between the bottoms of the chutes and spouts, the curved plates hinged to the lower end of the chutes and'closing-the opening between the topsot the chutes and spouts, and the curved supporting-levers pivoted to the spouts, for the purpose and substantially as described.

Dated at Cavalier, Pembina county, North Dakota, this 26th day of July, A. D. 1897.
